Normandy Park Elementary School

Posted April 9, 2009

My children started at this school in kindergarten and I had reservations about the multiage concept. Well my concerns all came true. The concept of older children being roll models for younger children simply does not work. The older children are hampered by the younger ones while they are trying to complete school projects / work. The smarter children get bored very quickly and lets not forget they are children and don't need the pressure of teachers and fellow students to be perfect roll models. Unfortunately, for the children the teachers are attempting to teach two classes at the same time which takes away valueable time needed to help children who require it. The classes are the largest in the district and common sense would suggest that no elementry school teacher can truly cover all the bases teaching two grades simultaneously.

My daughter started kindergarten in this school this year. She loves the school very much. It has very unique family atmosphere. Multiage aspect adds more fun to the learning process.

You can't top this school in terms of a highly stimulating, nurturing environment where children have endless options available to them. The fabulous principal insures that every teacher performs up to his or her best ability. Consequently, even shy children are empowered to contribute and all feel safe and well cared for.
